My first bad news ...

When I decided to become a teacher few years back, I thought about many benefits, but not so much about job hazards. Well, it turns out one of those hazards is losing his/her students to violence.

I lost my first one. I was not very close to the student, but I keep wondering if I should have been nicer. Maybe gotten to know him better. The student was not stellar academically, but nice and cordial.

I feel bad, but not overwhelmingly sad. Does that make me a bad person? I feel like I should be feeling worse.
